63. IMO there are just too many tics and scuffs on the cheek -- the prime focal area -- even though the rest of the coin looks to be of 65 quality. If the scuffs on the cheek aren't as pronounced in hand as the image makes them appear, it could go 64.
Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. Will’sProoflikes
NGC MS64; PCGS MS63 (although Rev. is a 64; obverse is not good enough). It will be interesting you will send this coin in for grading by one of this company (or both).

lock 65 luster distubed on cheek.
PCGS 65, you got it. You're right about the cheek and the coin has a great strike..
a bit too much chatter on the cheek (and that's where it counts to earn anything higher at pcgs)
